Tito 3
1 Par ne ji mondo ochiw luor ne jotelo. Nyisgi mondo giwinj chik kendo mondo gibed moikore ne timo gimoro amora maber,
REMIND them to be subject to princes and those invested with authority, to obey magistrates, to be ready for every good work,
2 kik giketh nying ngʼato angʼata, gibed joma ohero kwe, kendo ma paro mar konyo jowetegi, ka ginyiso muolo madier ne ji duto.
to slander no man, to be inoffensive, gentle, shewing all meekness to all men.
3 Nikech wan bende chon ne wan joma ofuwo ma ok winj wach kendo wasumbini mag kit gombo gi mor mayoreyore mag ringruok. Ngimawa mapile nopongʼ gi ichlit gi nyiego; ka ji mon kodwa kendo wan bende onge winjruok e kindwa.
For we ourselves also in time past were thoughtless, disobedient, erroneous, enslaved by various passions and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another.
4 To kane ngʼwono kod hera mar Nyasaye ma Jawarwa ofwenyore to nowarowa.
But even then the kindness and love of God our Saviour to man shone forth,
5 Ne ok owarowa nikech tim moro makare mane wasetimo, to ne owarowa mana nikech ngʼwonone owuon. Nowarowa gi luok mane Roho Maler okelonwago ngima manyien kod nywol manyien.
not for works of righteousness which we had done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the laver of regeneration, and by renovation of the Holy Spirit;
6 Kuom Yesu Kristo ma Jawarwa Nyasaye noolonwa Roho mogundho,
which he poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
7 mondo ka oseketwa kare kuom ngʼwonone to wabed jocham mwandune, ka wan gi geno mar yudo ngima mochwere. (aiōnios g166)
that justified by his grace, we might become heirs in hope of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
8 Wachni en wach madiera. Kendo adwaro ni ijiw wechegi mondo joma oseketo genogi kuom Nyasaye otangʼ mondo gichiwre mar timo gik mabeyo. Gigi gin gik malongʼo chuth, kendo kelo konyruok ne ji duto.
Faithful is the saying, and of these things I wish thee firmly to testify, that they who have believed in God be careful to be pre-eminent in good works. These are becoming and advantageous to men.
9 To pogri gi mbekni mofuwo gi sigendini mag anywola gi mino wach kod dhawo kuom weche mag chike, nikech gik ma kamago ok kel konyruok kendo gionge tich.
But foolish disquisitions, and genealogies, and disputes, and contentions about the law avoid; for they are unprofitable and vain.
10 Siem ngʼat makelo pogruok dichiel, to kisesiemo ngʼat makelo pogruok diriyo to pogri kode chuth.
An heretical person after a first and second admonition reject;
11 Bed kingʼeyo gadiera ni ngʼama kamano en Jaricho ma pache okethore kendo en ngʼama ketho kongʼeyo.
knowing that such a one is perverted, and sinneth, being self-condemned.
12 Bangʼe kaseoro Artemas kata Tukiko iri, to item matek mondo ibi ira piyo Nikopoli, nikech asechano mar bet kuno kinde chwiri.
When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, hasten to come to me unto Nicopolis: for there I have determined to pass the winter.
13 Tim matek mondo ikony Zena ngʼat molony e chik kod Apolo e wuodhgi, kendo ne ni giyudo gik moko duto magidwaro.
Send forward diligently Zenas the lawyer and Apollos, that nothing may be wanting for them.
14 Jowa nyaka puonjre keto chunygi kuom timo gik mabeyo, mondo eka giyud gik ma gikonyorego e ngimagi mapile kendo kik gidagi e ngima ma ok kel konyruok.
And let those who belong to us learn also to be pre-eminent in good works for all necessary calls, that they be not without fruits.
15 Ji duto man koda ooroni mos. Mosnwa joma oherowa kuom yie. Ngʼwono obed kodu uduto.
All that are with me salute thee. Salute those who love us with fidelity. Grace be with you all. Amen. This epistle was written to Titus appointed by suffrage first bishop of the church of Crete, from Nicopolis in Macedonia.
